Too many Charlie Kirk threads. 

There is no vetting process. Although it would be too difficult to implement, but the enemy lurks here in great number. Be very warned, open forums, especially traditional Catholic forums are full of enemies pretending to be Catholic. I saw it on gloria.tv and i see it here. Have Catholic common sense and you will notice them. They insert worldly talk into discussions and blatant anti catholic positions.

Yes. This. I will go a step further and add that some of these "enemies pretending to be Catholic" are being paid for their hatred toward Blacks, Mexicans, Jews, women and anyone who dares disagree with their venom. Who would pay for this? A group like the SPLC which can then raise money from quoting the hatred of their shills and painting Trad Catholics with a broad brush as a "hate group". One can be well-aware of the JQ without resorting to hatred. Jesus Christ called us to love our enemies. This venomous hatred is not Catholic.

, do you not recognize that maybe you've been more subverted than many? A jew agent couldn't do a better job of trying to discourage souls. In the midst of a group who, by definition of being Catholic, should be able to embrace any and every obstacle with joy, we have the liar's voice demanding that we see only impossibility? We should have a non-stop pity party and an entitlement mentality worse than any "boomer" I've ever met? Are we entitled in this "information age" to be so F***ing ignorant of how hard life was for our forebears that we should wallow in complaints?* If I really thought that was the Catholic Faith, I'd say, "to hell with It" in a heartbeat!
. . .  I'm starting to realize that life is too important to waste it with a doom-scrolling loser's mentality.

Bravo!

Handomely rewarded? Where do you get this nonsense? Actually, when we struggled to buy our tiny first home, the interest rate was 18% for a home loan. Paying the utlility bills meant I had to decide which one to skip: gas? electric? water? trash pickup? the second loan for the house?

Dinner meant lots potatoes, beans or rice, the cheapest veggies and a small amount of either chicken or the cheapest ground beef.

Shopping for clothes meant the thrift store.

Our grandchildren are struggling because of fake money backed by nothing, increasing inflation thanks to corrupt goverment, Blackrock buying up single family homes and forcing prices up, planned subersion of the food supply, the devastation of the Catholic Church and many other evils which were not caused by any age group.

This week. Next week it will be something else. The next week, something else will dominate the news cycle.

What is the problem, exactly? What would you do differently as moderator?

You are annoyed when people are interested in different topics than you. But how would you feel if others wanted to forbid YOU to discuss what interests YOU? Hmmm?
You like free speech for yourself, but not for others.

Whoa there, Pardner! 🐎 
Touchy, aren’t you?
”Forbid”? 
I didn’t know I wield so much authority!
Only Matthew can forbid what’s on his site!
Are you guilty of Modernism? Americanism?
Whats with the “Free Speech?”
That’s heresy.  
There’s really no such thing as “free speech” in the Catholic Church,
or in society, either. 
My opinion is only that; my opinion, which is of little to no consequence.
🧊 out.

I'm not sure where you live or your age range but the boomers (actual boomers) in my country had incredible opportunity. Any young man working 3-5 years up until the late 80s could easily save up to buy a house outright by living at home with their parents. Even until the mid 2000s housing was still relatively cheap. Obviously before the 90s it was much easier than the early 2000s but things hadn't gone full ponzi just yet. Schooling was also much cheaper. Schools actually taught you skills back then, I know boomers who learnt real life skills in their public schools, unlike mine which had extremely basic cooking, metal and wood working classed (the cooking classes were crap). Personally I don't like modern wood working, there is something very relaxing about creating works made from wood by hand without using powered machinery. Those extremely fast rotating blades are very dangerous and the fine particles is very bad for the lungs.

My boomer parents could fill a shopping cart with meats, cheese and other 'real' foods for under $100 to feed a small family, filling up the tank in their car also cost them less than $20 a week. They may have made less money but their money from a single income (in the 80s) was still enough for a small family to have it good. I don't know about your circuмstances but most boomers do not match what you said.

i used to long for better times too. I believed "things used to be so much better", after all that's what the old people always said. At least, of course, until I'd complain about life being hard, then the response would be something like this:



If I could go back and talk to my younger self, (besides giving some winning lottery numbers  ) I'd probably say something like, "don't waste your time on nostalgia, envious of a past that wasn't yours to live. God gave you now in which to live, and, once in a while, if you cut off the distractions and look, you'll see His Providence, ....... and it's so beautiful."
